Custom enamel pins are a favorite product for businesses, artists, small shop owners, and personal collectors.
When we work with artists or individual buyers, one question comes up all the time:
What is your minimum order quantity for custom enamel pins?
Our answer is always the same: VeperPins has no minimum order quantity. But in most cases, the more pins you order, the lower the unit price will be.
You might wonder, “Is that just a way to push customers to order more?”
Not really.
There are real production costs behind every custom pin order. That’s why the price per pin is much higher when you order just 10 pieces compared to ordering in bulk.
In this article, we’ll explain why most custom enamel pin makers have a small order quantity, and how VeperPins can help you lower the risk if you only want to test a small batch first.
We’ll also share a VeperPins coupon code for customers who want to start with a small order and save a little more on their first try.
You may have seen many pin wholesalers or factories say things like “Minimum order: 50 pcs” or “MOQ: 100 pcs.”
Why Do Custom Enamel Pins Usually Have a Minimum Order Quantity?
That is because custom pins are not the same as ready-made pins on Etsy or Amazon.
Ready-made pins are already produced and kept in stock. Customers can simply buy them as they are.
Custom enamel pins are different. They are made from your own design, logo, artwork, or idea. In most cases, we need to create a custom mold first, and then start production based on that mold.
Once a mold is involved, there will always be some setup cost at the beginning. When the order quantity is small, that cost gets spread across fewer pins, so the unit price naturally becomes higher.
And the mold fee is only one part of the cost.
The full custom pin production process also has fixed costs. For example, plating still has to go through the same process whether we make 1 pin or 1,000 pins. The machine setup and labor time do not change that much.
The same goes for enamel coloring. Whether the colors are filled by machine or finished by hand, even a small order still needs to go through the full production steps.
So small-batch custom pins are absolutely possible. They just cost more per piece because each pin carries a bigger share of the setup and production cost.
To put it simply, if a factory does not set a minimum order quantity, very small orders may look expensive at first glance. Many customers may feel the price is not worth it and give up before even trying.
Can I Still Order Less Than 50 Pins?
Yes, of course.
At VeperPins, we want to help small retail shop owners, artists, and independent designers lower the risk of testing new products.
A pin design often takes a lot of time to plan, draw, and polish. But not every new design can guarantee strong sales from the very beginning. We work with many illustrators and creative sellers, so we understand this very well.
That is why you do not have to order 50 pcs at once from VeperPins.
Even if you only want to make 10 pcs, we can help you produce them.
Many customers start with a small batch to test a new design. If the market response is good, they come back later for a larger reorder. This is much safer than stocking a large quantity before knowing whether the design will sell.
If you’re planning to sell your pins, it’s worth thinking about what to charge for them before placing a larger order.

What to Know Before Ordering No-Minimum Custom Enamel Pins
Although we support small-batch custom orders and offer a no-minimum-order coupon, custom enamel pins still come with some basic production costs.
For example, the mold fee cannot be fully removed. Every new design needs its own mold, and the mold cost depends on the pin size, shape, and design complexity.
For a common 1.25 inch enamel pin, the mold fee is usually around US$60.
Also, if your shipping address is outside the United States, there may be extra international shipping costs. The final shipping fee depends on the destination country, order quantity, and shipping method.
If you are testing a new pin design, feel free to send us your idea or artwork. We can quote a small-batch price first, so you can test the market with lower risk before moving into larger production.
Don’t Worry Too Much About the Pin Mold Fee
If the mold fee feels a little high for your first custom order, don’t worry too much.
As long as your first order is made through VeperPins, we will keep your mold for free for 2 years.
During these 2 years, if the pin size, shape, metal lines, and overall mold structure stay the same, we will not charge another mold fee when you reorder the same design.
If you only change the enamel colors, plating color, or surface finish, you usually do not need a new mold either.
